I don’t rhyme with “punt.”
On the topic of derogatory epithets;
"Bitch" is a dog. A *female* dog. NOT a male dog, and not a human female.
"Cunt" was once a taboo word, too important to be used in day-to-day speech. It will never be taboo again, and I’m all for that– but let’s begin fighting the derogatory useages. It does not regularly refer to the whole person, anymore than "arm" does.
Our language has a wealth of words that describe a reactive, unthinking individual;
blundering, brutish, feckless, foolish,
heedless, impulsive, inadvertent, inconsiderate,
indelicate, insensitive, instinctive, mechanical,
napping, negligent, oblivious, outrageous,
rash, rude, selfish, senseless, tactless,
thoughtless, uncaring, unconscious, undiplomatic,
unheeding, unintended, unmeant, unmindful,
unpremeditated, unreasoning, untactful,
unwise, vacant, witless, abrupt, abusive,
bad-mannered, barbarian, barbaric, barbarous, blunt,
boorish, brusque, brutish, cheeky,
churlish, coarse, crabbed, crude, curt,
discourteous, graceless, gross, gruff, ignorant,
illiterate, impertinent, impolite, impudent,
inconsiderate, insolent, insulting, intrusive,
loutish, low, obscene, offhand, peremptory,
raw, savage, scurrilous, short, surly, uncivil,
uncivilized, uncouth, uncultured, uneducated,
ungracious, unmannerly, unpolished, unrefined,
vulgar…
We can use these words to describe both men and women, without insulting women as a gender.
We can return "cunt" to its rightful place as a body part; between our legs, giving us mind-blowing pleasure.
ETA; I find I am uncomfortable with "Cunt’ as praise, either;
my next postfeatures non-gendered words of priase.
My cunt’s a bloody waste of time at least one week in four
But Stella, don’t you understand? ‘Cunt’ is only insulting if you *mean* it as an insult. So as long as you say to someone ‘no offense, but you’re a cunt’, then they have to understand that you are in fact, *praising* and *empowering* them, and if you take it any other way, you are *oppressing* them, and exerting a *chilling effect* on their right to free speech. If you point that out to them and they disagree, then you should of course sue them because they’re insulting *you* by criticising your action, and that’s just so unacceptable in our modern, free democracy.
And I meant that all sincerely.
“No offense but…” Is that like the southern “Bless their little heart”?
Do you find yourself incredibly sort of womb-heavy and horny as the cramps are beginning to think about starting?
Seven years of menopause, and if there is anything I miss, that’s the bunny.
*has menopause envy*
yes

Am so glad I remembered this and can now link to it!
While you’re at it, the next post is a list of non-gendered words of power and praise.
Because “cunt” shouldn’t have to be a single-word signifier for any sort of woman.
